A Unified Framework for Robots that Influence Humans over Long-Term Interaction
Shahabedin Sagheb, Sagar Parekh, Ravi Pandya +4
Robot actions influence the decisions of nearby humans. Here influence refers to intentional change: robots influence humans when they shift the human's behavior in a way that help…
Robots that Learn to Safely Influence via Prediction-Informed Reach-Avoid Dynamic Games
Ravi Pandya, Changliu Liu, Andrea Bajcsy
Robots can influence people to accomplish their tasks more efficiently: autonomous cars can inch forward at an intersection to pass through, and tabletop manipulators can go for an…
Multi-Agent Strategy Explanations for Human-Robot Collaboration
Ravi Pandya, Michelle Zhao, Changliu Liu +2
As robots are deployed in human spaces, it is important that they are able to coordinate their actions with the people around them. Part of such coordination involves ensuring that…
Multimodal Safe Control for Human-Robot Interaction
Ravi Pandya, Tianhao Wei, Changliu Liu
Generating safe behaviors for autonomous systems is important as they continue to be deployed in the real world, especially around people. In this work, we focus on developing a no…
Towards Proactive Safe Human-Robot Collaborations via Data-Efficient Conditional Behavior Prediction
Ravi Pandya, Zhuoyuan Wang, Yorie Nakahira +1
We focus on the problem of how we can enable a robot to collaborate seamlessly with a human partner, specifically in scenarios where preexisting data is sparse. Much prior work in…
Robust Safe Control with Multi-Modal Uncertainty
Tianhao Wei, Liqian Ma, Ravi Pandya +1
Safety in dynamic systems with prevalent uncertainties is crucial. Current robust safe controllers, designed primarily for uni-modal uncertainties, may be either overly conservativ…
